Way back in 2002, my improv troupe, "Swiss Family Robots" hosted an Easter brunch party for our sister improv troupe, "Ninja". Team members and their spouses/girlfriends/boyfriends and others showed up for a majestic spread of breakfast foods and a showing of the 1973 movie of the Steven Sondheim mega-musical "Jesus Christ Superstar". Folks who had already seen the movie were thrilled to see it again. There was a lot of exciting singing-along happening. Folks who had never seen the movie before, were either surprised or enthralled with all of the showy, 1970's glam-rock presentation. Lots of laughs all the way around...
A week or two ago, at Stinger rehearsal, J. Ben Parker brought it up again. He asked if anyone would be interested in gathering to eat brunch and see the movie together. Again, folks who knew the movie jumped on it. Folks who hadn't seen it said, "Well, all right. If YOU guys want to see it, I guess it would be fun."
A week or so later, a location has been found and folks are stepping up to claim items to bring potluck. We'll be eating Fresh fruit, Grands biscuits, eggs, Canadian Bacon, Coffee from Sayjal's French Press, Juice, Milk, Sweet Potatoes and Mimosas. At noon, we're popping in the DVD of the movie and eating and enjoying the meals together and celebrating the Glory of the Lord (of musicals) together...
I can't wait.
Here's the trailer to the 1973 movie. (The numbers being counted down are lashes on Christ's back, as counted by Pontius Pilate in one of the climactic numbers.)
